The Mandalorian - Season 2 Eps 8 Reaction 

And How! 🍑

I watched the finale 5 hours ago and am still weeping like a baby.

I was actually looking forward to jumping straight to this reaction after the episode because I couldn't wait for it!

Right!

@@lisamarieligreci-newton7804 im watching their reaction twice.

At the first moment I thought Disney invented time machine or Mark Hamil is a Jesus.

Yeah it wasn't the best, but this is a damn Disney+ series not a 250mil budget movie so I was pretty surprised it was even that good. Either way I was too losing my shit at the moment so I wouldn't have noticed hahaha

@@XxXDestroyer I feel like Disney gave them the movie money for this scene - did you see the amount of visual effects people in the credits? That's movie numbers heh

It was perfection idc they did justice that's all

I do hope they actually work on the CGI face in the future. For once, they could add improved CGI to a Star Wars project and actually make it better than the original.

Me too:)

You realize Ben Solo will murder all.of Luke Skywalker's Padawan learners including Grogu.

@@RobertSmith-rg1hx With the popularity of Baby Yoda/Grogu I don't think they are stupid enough to kill off that baby. I think, eventually, he'll end up with Mando again. I wouldn't be interested in watching it if the Child wasn't in it. BUT that's just me!

​@@RobertSmith-rg1hx Not necessarily remember there is atleast what? 30 years between episode 6 and episode 7 plenty of time to get Grogu trained and out of there before Ben solo goes crazy LOl!

@@darrelbuccilli7795 can I ask since we are near it anyway..Can you please tell me your opinion..Yoda..Anakin.. Obi-Wan Kenobi...Luke Skywalker...Leia..and now Ben Solo are gone Force Ghosts..is Rey Skywalker the ONLY Jedi Master left?

Agreed! People are gonna be like 2020 sucked! And I’m gonna be like but, Luke Skywalker!!!

@@madelinegarber7860 😂

Luke cheated Trump

This is the little HOPE we needed

Facts!!!!

Adam..........................Adam..................Adam...................

He literally said "I know..." that's the most Star Wars thing ever

Same. One of the most awesome TV moments for me ever.

That makes two of us. Awesome.

Here I am doing it again

And here I am in December 2022 doing exactly the same thing! Love these guys!

I watch this episode every time I just want to remind myself I have feelings

Exactly!

This isn’t his prime, his prime in lightsaber combat yes

@@thanos5149 that’s what I meant

I wish I could Like this more than once. Yes.

Your nickname and pfp are perfect,I'm a big fan of Star Wars and Kobe.

Ugh same. I’ll be ok for a while and then I’ll think about that ending or literally any Grogu scene and get emotional again. My poor cat was probably so confused why I kept yelling and stress petting him. I’d never been so anxious going into an episode of a show. My hands were shaking the whole time. But it was so satisfying and bitter sweet like you said.

Yeah the sadest part is when grogu has to leave din and din had tears in his eyes

It’s Star Wars basically

Just sucks the CGI was trash

@@KaleFGB that’s really not true it looked great but not spot on

i do believe thats rogue 1 ;)

I’m right there with you as a 42 year-old. This experience was surreal.

Facts

51 here, felt the same. I still can vividly remember sitting in the theatre watching the original movie back in '77

47 here and I reacted the same way. Too bad I was home alone, my wife and daughter are spending the month at the beach house :(

can you post the link to that? Iwould love to see it.

Dude facts tears of damn 😂

I did at the end. Please take good care of him Luke! Train him well and keep him safe! Din and all the Star Wars fans are counting on you!

ALL the nerd feels 🍑

Literally me too, I think this is the most I’ve cried while watching Star Wars 😭😂

Literally me too, I think this is the most I’ve cried while watching Star Wars 😭😂

It only made sense. Where Luke goes, R2 is right there with him. When he rolled out from behind Luke I barked a delighted laugh and called out to the screen in my best Luke impression, "Hey R2!"

My headcannon is he just casually rolled in after taking on 40 more darktroopers

@@carlzerris6566🤣

and make him shake in joy

True. So true.

Dave: Aight... now uh.. watch after the credits.. lets make people have orgasms.

Me: YES.

How about "Cool hand Luke" LOL

Nope, it was absolutely necessary to use CGI Mark Hamill.

It did but it was more about the moment for me so I didn't really care, either.

I don't care that they used CGI. If that hood had come down, and there was a stand-in actor there with an 8x10 glossy black and white picture of Mark Hamill taped to his face... I'd have still been satisfied. All I know is that I've been waiting for FORTY-THREE YEARS to finally see MASTER Jedi Luke Skywalker in action. Suddenly, I was that 7 year old kid sitting in a theater in 1977 again... watching Obi Wan handing young Luke his father's lightsaber.

@@Mr.Ekshin gotta agree, I am new to the star wars fandom, I really started getting into it in 2019. I am so happy I went from casual to this. I sadly got spoiled about him but it did not stop me from grinning stupidly the whole time.

Yes, and with restrictions due to COVID-19 they all had to cope with, they still did a very good job.

There was a sequel trilogy???

That's what everybody wanted dude.

I think some still want Luke in a sequel trilogy that is rightly done. I know I do.

@@probably_afk ...😡😡😡 Never happened.

Hard to disagree I have been waiting for prime Luke since I was a 10 year old kid watching return of the Jedi

Hell yeah!

Haha yes it is

Without question, the best TV I've ever had the privilege of watching. Although, I worry something's wrong with me because every time I think about, it still tugs really hard at my heart over 8 months later.

Disney has planned this for years. They don't need to take notes. The sequels aren't going away, just like the prequels didn't go away despite the more extreme side of the fanbase complaining about them.

@@BlueHooloovoo It wasn't an argument for a retcon. Just an observation on how storytelling should be done for a beloved franchise.

@@BlueHooloovoo Disney had nothing to do with it, this was all Favreu and Filoni.

@Bryan mark The original trilogy had a lot of "winging" it as well. For example, Darth Vader was not meant to be Luke's father originally nor Leia his sister. That's why there were those awkward moments in the films where Obi-Wan tried to explain why he didn't tell Luke that Vader was his father and the strange love triangle between Han, Luke and Leia.

@Bryan mark "With the sequels, he developed an entirely different story to lead into the original trilogy with a coherence and solidifying storyline." Yeah well if Lucas had that planned then he should of made the damn films after he made the prequels, but he didn't. That's on Lucas. He sold the franchise to Disney and the only thing he stipulated besides the $4 billion in the deal was that Disney not alter on change anything in the OT, prequels and Clone Wars. Everything else from the EU to whatever the sequels would be were Disney's authority. Him having an alternative narrative for potential sequels is irrelevant. "The sequel trilogy was a mess bringing nothing new to the table as it delivered a scene for scene soft reboot, followed by a sloppy soft reboot of ESB with a woke agenda throat cramming and ending in a boring uninspired trash heap of irredeemable sjw pandering." There hadn't been a Star Wars films in over 10 years by that point and the demographics and marketing for movies has changed considerably. The OT was the Gen-X Star Wars, the prequels were for the Millennial generation and the sequels are catered to the Gen Z crowd. Whether you like it or not the Sequels made billions at the box office despite you miserable fanboys bitching and whining and calling for boycotts that amounted to nothing. The sequels were successful in part because they were forward thinking, with refreshing new characters that embraced diversity and actively looked beyond the narrow core of established fandom. It's called planning for the future because fans like you are aging and the franchise needs new viewers to keep it going for decades to come. "Rey was a Mary Sue, Finn was a token black guy, Poe was a toxic white male, Chewy was just...... Not chewy. C3PO was wasted for no real reason, and the OT heroes were just afterthoughts. As for Kylo...... I'm not even going to go there." Oh my god! Cry me a river. You sad, reality-deprived rage babies really need to find some other focus in life. The amount of energy you waste on this subject shows that you don't really have much of a life. Read some books or get a BJ or something? You're wound a little too tight.

You’re welcome duder. What a wild ride this show has been. It made 2020 suck a little less, exactly what we needed. 🍑

The version of Luke Skywalker we've wanted to see since the Expanded Universe.

Me too! Me too!

Nice! Yep to ugly cry 😭😭😭.

For me it was Din and Grogu parting. God damn my heart could not handle that. That’s the only time this show has made me cry even with s3 out.

Boba acts like he's in his 20s and Luke looks it. They've got the time dilate reversal going big time!

Me too! My daughter was in the other room asleep and woke up suddenly because she thought I was in trouble.

Agreed..still going from shock to tears

Its more like someone had passed away a long time ago and then they show up at your front door with arms wide open.

Im really glad I watched it on my computer with headphones, otherwise my roommates would have been trying to figure out why they were hearing lightsaber noises and ugly crying instead of just ugly crying and "who is it oh god who is it" for five minutes while my brain tried to accept that it knew who it was and it this was _happening_

same

We'd all be pregnant. And not just the men. But the women and children too.

So true 😂

Na, those 3 movies threw themselves in the trash all on their own. This Ep just showed that it didn't have to be that way.

What this show has done what the Disney movies couldn't pull off: - Show what it means to be a former, traumatized stormtrooper - Show the perspective of the empire - Show Luke in his prime being a badass - Show the Force as a mysterious power again, that requires training to be controlled - Show the New Republic in action and that's all done in 16 episodes Shows you how incompetent those movie makers are

@@LeutnantJoker Couldn't have said it better myself. This episode reeeeaaaally made me wish the ST was non canon.

@@LeutnantJoker EXACTLY IM LOVING HOW WE ARE SEEING THE IMPIRIAL PERSPECTIVES!

Actually I think this episode made the sequels retroactively even worse. Because Im pretty sure this means Kylo Ren murdered baby Yoda. (although this is set in 9 ABY and that happens in 28 ABY So I mean...I guess he has 19 years to get training and get out of there before Kylo has his murder tantrum?)

100 fucking percent

@@bloodyneptune hoping they just remove the sequels from canon. When I show my kids Star Wars, this show will be included and the sequels won’t.

@@bloodyneptune Grogu survived order 66, I know he got out before Kylo went on his rampage. I think he went back to Din or Luke sent him on a mission or somewhere well before Kylos rage. Plus, Disney is not going to kill off their cash cow AKA Baby Yoda

@@bloodyneptune There is now no such person as Kylo Ren, or any of those other fake characters.

Amen brother.

Id say a whole lot

And the Reylo fans have said nothing about all this, that's what amazes me. I thought they would get all on their manbabies high horses again because we like this so much, but they haven't. Could it be they see this and realize what they missed?

Thank you? 😁

You guys have an awesome sense of humour 🤣

yep. its not about the lightsaber, its about the STORY. A big FUCK you, to Disney!!

"Let me look at you, with my own eyes "-dying Anakin/darth vader to Luke

Shamus Obi They’re doing 3-5 seasons.

Season 3 is already in preproduction. It ain't going nowhere just yet - there still more stories to tell for Din Djarin

@@leynaripley5250 The third season is Boba fetts story. Din's story is over. He might show up in a Bo Katan episode .

@@shamusobi2748 wait, for real ?

@@shamusobi2748 how is Din's story over? He has the darksaber which Bo Katan is not happy about (and sounds like he isn't too happy about being the ruler of a Mandalore either) and they are going to try and reclaim Mandalore. Boba's story was technically over after RotJ but they brought him back and have found new stories for him, there is still plenty of opportunity for stories for Din. If the Mandalorian series 3 IS a focus on Boba and they get rid of Din and co, I admit I'm gonna be pissed - Boba is cool and I'd love to see him in his own show, but not if it means at the expense of Din Djarin. He's the character I've become emotionally invested in. For me, Boba is just another badass

I had the exact same reaction as you and the boys. I wept. Peak Star Wars.

YES! Watch our evil plan to take over unfurl...🍑

Luke has Force Hug abilites

Totally seeing this. It’s our pleasure Dave. Thanks for the kind words. 🍑

@@jayschmidt9727 You need to get out more! And eat your vegetables!

Awesome 👏

It's not the end of the universe, but you can see it from there!

"There are many like it but this one is mine."

He is just a man trying to find his way in the galaxy like his father before him hahahha

I'm calling a reunion in seoson 3 somewhere at the end of the season.

L O L

Noooo. Now I’m thinking about that. :(

All the more reason for them to reunite in season 3

Younglings and padawans aren't allowed to have toys they're attached to.

It's Boba Fett and his best friend Slave Ooooone! It never fails to crack me up.

Heck yeah! Wandavision soon! We ain’t going nowhere. 🍑

@@jayschmidt9727 OH i'm in

R2-D2 be like what happened to Master Yoda?

R2 and Grogru recognised each other. It was the final deciding factor for Grogu to trust this strange Jedi.

@@aussiejed1 Probably R2 is the one who saved Grogu from the temple? Or Grogu just happy to see a new toy.

R2: "Does he have a stick?"

Same here 😊 then I subbed right after...especially the spice girls jig. 🤣 Just clean ol’ fun!

Me 3!

Me too

Same!

Cant fault JJ too much, Disney and Kennedy had his hands tied, even he said this will be trash.

JJ Abrams Ruins every franchise he touches. Also The Force Awakens is a poorly done rehash of A New hope.

@@leoh3466 lol ok guy

He directed the Star Trek films which were amazing.

@@seanaxtell5026 The first movie was a clunky, but promiseing start. The second movie wasn't very good and the third movie he didn't direct was better han thefirst two. By the time the third movie was released people were still mad at the second and didn't return. I say all that as a HUGE Star Trek, much bigger than I am for Star Wars.

I’m totally game to forget those were ever made and have them redone

Clearly you didn't see what think filoni about the prequels.

@@quasithoughts1040 Yea Disney can say that was a dream or some nonnsense and start over. I'd be fine with it.

@@Wanderer25 They can have Bobby Ewing dream it all in the shower.

6-9 yes! 1-3 are fine for the time it came. But 6-9 yes!

Yah ;(

Nah, we'll cry even harder when next season we see Mando taking that ball out of his pocket to remember Grogu :'(

I respect Filoni for letting us keep at least a little bit of dignity left, lol. Edit: Also, I think Din is meant to keep the ball as his talisman and reminder. I believe Grogu still has his pendant as well.

OMG the BALL!!!!!

Gotta have a reason for Mando to show up to Grogus knight in ceremony

Yeah, and they just didn't announce the Boba Fett show with all the others because they wanted all us fans to LOSE OUR MINDS when we saw this end credits scene 😁

its more than greenlit its under production right now.

Many assume s3 is about Boba Fett. I mean all episodes are chapters, and the next ones gonna be The Book of Boba Fett .... we'll see. I hope these two are separate shows

@@PaimasCPGaming I've seen just as many assume its a spin-off - a lot of the media articles, reviews etc seem to think so. I'm with you - I hope it's two separate shows. I want to see what's going to happen with Boba AND continue with Din's story and see how he (and the show) adjusts with no Grogu in his life

I have a crazy lil' theory, now just hear me out. Every episode has been placed into chapters, the book of boba drops the same month as Mandalorian season 3, they announced season 3 release date before episode 8 even came out, they announced a Boba Fett spinoff show a couple weeks ago, the show is called "The Mandalorian"... Dude I think they're making it into a Mandalorian show with different Mandalorian character. like a Boba Fett chapter, a Bo-Katan chapter, etc.

*crosses fingers* Come oooon star wars multiverse theory...just retcon everything...you can do it Disney. Just pretend it never happened

I mean, we would get to see Grogu Djarin, a mandalorian Jedi, from clan Djarin, the mudhorn riders.

And that's why Jon Favreau is head of Lucasfilm now

Rest in paradise Bib
